Mini lobster season is a two-day recreational fishing season that targets lobsters in the Florida Keys. The season typically takes place in late July or early August, and the exact dates are set by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) each year.
During mini lobster season, recreational lobsters are allowed to harvest lobsters by hand or by using a hook and line. Lobsters are limited to a daily bag limit of 12 lobsters per person, and they must have a valid saltwater fishing license. Mini lobster season is a popular event in the Florida Keys, and it attracts thousands of lobster enthusiasts each year.
